I think the previous reviewer is confusing University of Pennylvania with Penn State. U of P is not a state owned institution. He is wrong about copyright in this case as well.

Subject: This is PUBLIC DOMAIN
The university is a public (state owned) school, and governmental agencies in the U.S. are not allowed to copyright any of their media, under any conditions. If you use this material, send them that e-mail, and then let them know to kiss your a**. They didn't even make the video! It was DONATED for PUBLIC dissemination!
